Cancellation and Attendance Policies
Cancellation Policy: Registered participants may request a full refund up until two (2) weeks prior to the start date of the training. Refunds will not be granted under any circumstances if a participant notifies Anew staff that they are unable to attend the training less than two (2) weeks before the first day of training. Instead, Anew will offer the participant a placement at the next available training that closely resembles the original training structure for which they are registered, at no additional cost to the participant.
To cancel a training registration, please contact the Community Education Program Manager at susan.s@anewdv.org. In the event that the Program Manager is unavailable, please contact the Director of Community Services at chante.a@anewdv.org or the Chief Program Officer at carol.g@anewdv.org to cancel your registration.
Attendance Policy: Participants are expected to arrive on time for each training session. If a participant arrives late, leaves early, or takes excessive breaks, they will be required to make up that time in order to receive their certificate of completion. Participants who arrive 15 minutes late or more after the scheduled start time will not be permitted to enter the training session; they must attend a future session within 1 calendar year to receive their certificate of completion. If a participant misses a session, they have the opportunity to make up the session at a future training hosted by Anew within 1 calendar year at no additional cost. If a participant is unable to make up a missed session within 1 calendar year, Anew will be unable to provide them with a certificate of completion and the participant will need to retake the training in its entirety at full cost.
Individual make-up sessions will not be permitted.
This training is offered twice a year, in May and November. The training is over a span of 6.5 days from 9:00am to 4:00pm (some sessions may run until 4:30pm – please see training schedule to confirm exact times).
The cost of this training is $275 per participant. If 3 or more individuals are registering from the same organization, they may receive a discount at $175 per person using the code GROUP175. Please contact us for the full list of discounts.
Training space is limited, and registration is on a first come, first serve basis.
